FINALLY.
Okay, lemme just say that I really love Owl City for multiple reasons, and although I can't say I've been a fan from the very beginning of his career, I eagerly jumped on the Hoot Owl train after hearing "Good Time" (yes, I know, not his best song, but hey, I like it). And after a 3 year wait, HIS NEXT FULL ALBUM IS HERE. *worldwide cheering*
So, haha, I was more than "excited" when I found out Mobile Orchestra was coming out. I was ECSTATIC. JUMPING OFF MY FLIPPING SEAT SCREAMING AND DOING THE HAPPY DANCE.
And heh, I was not disappointed.
People on iTunes constantly hate on Adam for switching music styles, but I really wish they'd stop. Let him grow! Artists change their style as their career path swerves. And Adam is thriving in pop. His songs here are evident of that, especially "Verge", which radio stations should really jump at playing. And the way Adam shamelessly professes his faith in "My Everything" and "You're Not Alone" really upped my already high respect for him.
So, in short, if you love Owl City, listen to this album. Oh, and his other past singles (Beautiful Times, Up All Night, Wolf Bite, Tokyo...)!
